This week's episode (The Miniature Murders) improbably included details of some handguns and ammunition in this very unrealistic "cozy crime" series.
A feature of the opening murder (they always have several in each episode - the sleepy villages around Midsomer being the the most dangerous places in the country) is the use of a bullet with a wooden core. It was referred to as having a large calibre (later mentioned as 11mm) so they were clearly referring to the Schouboe, although they gave it a different name which I didn't catch, and also said it was Swedish instead of Danish. The gun they showed was a Luger with a suppressor attached...
They later showed and correctly identified a P38.
Worth a few marks for trying, but more education required...
